Today's NYT shit-spew:
"NATO Seeks to Retake Taliban Haven"
"KANDAHAR, Afghanistan, Dec. 7 — Residents fled their homes in southern Afghanistan on Friday as NATO forces mounted an offensive to retake the town of Musa Qala, which has been a haven for Taliban fighters since British forces abandoned it in October last year.
This another reason the reports are so slanted!
Not only push Zionist propaganda about Muslims, but hide the fact that NATO is getting its ass kicked -- despite the air raids and the firepower advantage!
The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force, or ISAF, announced it had begun an operation along with Afghan National Army troops to retake the town in the southern province of Helmand.
ISAF, in a statement released in Kabul, the capital:
“An operation to retake the town of Musa Qala has started today, Dec. 7. In order to assist the Afghan National Army, ISAF Forces have launched an insertion of troops by helicopter on the edge of the town. This operation will continue for the next few days.”
I thought we were winning, readers?
That's what my lying government and media have told me!
WTF?
Residents reached by telephone said people were evacuating Musa Qala after skirmishes began on the edge of the town and three bombs landed in the outskirts. Shopkeepers were packing up their goods because they were afraid of looting once Afghan troops arrived.
Niamat Jan, a shopkeeper:
“The coalition troops are getting closer to Musa Qala town; they are just 10 kilometers away. They dropped three bombs on the town. I don’t know what the casualties were. All the entrances to the town have been blocked by them. We are in great fear. The people moved out of the town and scattered elsewhere. Most of the families have moved to the desert and settled there. The town has been completely evacuated.”
That is the "LIBERATION" that the fucking asshole mass-murderer is bringing to the Afghanis!!
O' Afghanis, I weep for thee!!!
I pray Fatima will gather up my tears and count them towards my judgment!
I'm sorry, Afghanis, for failing to stop this mass-murdering government of mine!
More than any other place in southern Afghanistan, Musa Qala has highlighted the difficulties NATO troops have confronted, and mistakes they have made, over the last two years in the face of a resurgent Taliban.
Yeah, halfway through I start getting a little fart mist of truth from the NYT!
British troops deployed in large numbers in the spring of 2006, but made the mistake of trying to use small numbers of soldiers to protect district towns. They rapidly came under siege from Taliban fighters who poured into Helmand Province in far larger numbers than had been anticipated.
The British have since been working to regain the upper hand, pulling out of places like Musa Qala, and consolidating control of the central region around the provincial capital. Since spring, they have steadily been pushing outward from that central region, slowly securing key towns and districts and establishing Afghan forces to hold those areas before moving on.
On a Losing Patrol In Afghanistan
Musa Qala was left alone even though commanders acknowledged that it was a haven for several thousand Taliban fighters. British troops pulled out under an agreement with local elders who were to ensure the Taliban fighters would also stay out of the town. But in February, just three months later, the Taliban overran the town and dismissed the ruling council of elders.
Since then, Musa Qala has become a base for Taliban fighters moving across northern Helmand and into provinces to the north. Large numbers of insurgents, including foreign fighters, flocked to the area. It is not clear if the Taliban will try to defend the town or pull back into the hills.
This is like your standard Zionist reflex revisions that they have on stand-by.
Hard to believe a word the NYT prints without reversing it about 180-degrees!
Afghan troops have been operating across northern Helmand since the beginning of November, the NATO statement said.
Now wonder the "newspapers" have been so quiet!
Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi, the Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman, as reported by Agence France-Presse:
"[It is a] massive multipurpose operation [in the north of Helmand Province]. It includes a military operation, sweep-up operation, clearance, imposing the rule of law and providing an atmosphere for reconstruction.”
How do you "impose" the rule of law when you are allegedly bringing "democracy?"
Tired of this fraudulent shit justifying mass murder of people who NEVER DID ANYTHING TO US!!!!!!!!!!
Residents reported fighting on the edge of Musa Qala on Friday.
Mahmood, a doctor living in the town who uses only one name, said he heard a half-hour exchange of guns and rockets between NATO and Taliban forces in the afternoon:
“Several skirmishes have taken place nearby Musa Qala district. This situation really made us crazy — we are running, where to go, how to go and how to protect our women and children from this cataclysm.”
Aminullah, a shopkeeper:
“The situation is worsening quite a bit. Coalition forces are getting closer to Musa Qala. They are in great numbers, around 500 tanks and vehicles, and helicopters are circulating nearby. People are taking their goods from their shops. They fear if Musa Qala falls into the hands of Afghan forces, they will lose their goods.”
Reader, I didn't see any FEAR of the Taliban in this report!
Shopkeepers and doctors? In a Taliban hotbed?
Worried about the Afghan GOVERNMENT LOOTING THEM, rather than Taliban?
We all know why that is: Memory Hole: The Taliban Rules
Oh, how the ZIONIST MEDIA LIES and HIDES!
(Afghans commonly describe British armored vehicles mounted with a machine gun as tanks.)
Look at them enter in with the parenthetical semantics!
Still KILLING MACHINES, Times!
And then there is the picture just above this article that is not on the web.
Caption: "A Bloody, and Ancient, Tradition... Spectators gathered for dogfights in Kabul, Afghanistan, yesterday. The age-old activity was forbidden by the Taliban, but reappeared after the Taliban collapsed. One westerner said the atmosphere at the weekly fights was akin to a football game."
Description: "I'm looking at hundreds of Afghani men gathered around a circle on top of a desert plateau. I see about five or six dogs on a leash with their owners inside the open area. Further in the distance is a scatter-shot parking lot of trucks and small cars. I don't know what to make of this. What I do know is that the people America is annihilating in this world fascinate me. I wish we would stop killing them, no matter how they live or what they do."
Hey, looks like that footballer Mike Vick is a "terrorist," too?
Oh, wait a minute, TALIBAN put a STOP to this!!!!!
WTF, readers?
First the Zio-War Daily tries to show me how barbaric Afghanis are, then tells me the alleged "Taliban terrorists" were MORE HUMANE than the United States?
After all, the dog-fighting came back AFTER WE INVADED!!!!
I'm ashamed to be an American, readers! And WTF is Vick in jail for then?
WE BROUGHT DOG-FIGHTING BACK to Afghanistan!!!
And as far as that goes, I am for ALL LIFE so I find this practice reprehensible; however, it is THEIR LAND and THEIR CULTURE!!!!
If that is the Afghani's spectator sport, who are westerners to gainsay them?!?
Ya ever take a look at all the god-damn violent sports we got?
Like BOXING!?!?
